The BEAUTIFUL sN0W.PIANE

One Of the most interesting products of
the Sierra Nevadn mountains and one
which never fails to excite wonder and ad-
miration of the tourist whether from the
east or the large cities of the coast, is the
beautiful snow plant. The scientific name
for this flower is sarsodos sauguinB, mean
ing "blocded flesh" June is the month
Of blossoming, and it can now be found
growing in secluded spots in the noun
tains, where the snow falls deepest in win
ter and where the tall grass grows thickly
and casts an unbroken shade. The plant
itself is from four to ten inches in height
and is OF bright scarf color, including
leaves and flowers, although the stem is
pink and white. The flowers are attached
close to the stem, and the leaves curl up
wards and partially hide the flowers from
view, the whole being in the form of a
cone. The leaves have delicate, frost
like edge, which makes them extremely
beautiful. Every visitor TO this vicinity al
ways manages to secure one of these curl
osities to show to friends below. How
these plants grow is not known to botanists,
as they are neither seed nor bulb. They
are supposed 10 become parasitic and can
not be propagated. Localities where they
are abundant one season may not produce
single specimen the next.-Truckee

Painless Rerulation.

1t is no longer question of doubt-although

IN OLD rUnKEr.nusrEa DEAD.


othineal Trawick. who recently died on
his farm, two miles west of Arkadelphia,
Ark, was born in Robinson county, North
Carolina, within ten miles of the line
which is the boundary of South Carolina,
n the month of April, in the year 1893, and
was consequently at his death in the 89th
year of his age. Uncle OF was passion
ately fond of hunting deer and turkey, and
up to his S0lh year there was no better shot
than he in Clark county, for, with his old
fashioned, smoo h-bore rifle, which he
christened and of which he invariably spoke
as "Old Betsy" he has winged and bagged
more wild turkeys aud brought down more
deer than any old hunter now living in this
part of Arkansas ever did.
The following incident will give an idea
OF Uncle OTIS fondness for shooting game:
Starting out on a turkey hunt he unex-
pectedly came in the woods to where one
of his neighbors had built and baited q
turkey pen, and upon examination of its
contents Uncle OF found that it contained
an even dozen wild turkeys. He immedi-
ately rode up to the house of its owner and
advised him of lis catch, but never left
until he traded the trnpper twelve tame
turkeys for the dozen wild ones, and as
soon as The trade was consummated and
they became his property he opened up the
pen and let the imprisoned birds fly in
every direction into the hidden recesses of
the surrounding forest. Time proved that
he made no foolish trade in this transac-
ton, for he killed each of these wild birds,
thereby procuring the same quantity of
fowl he had ven in exchange, and what
was equally desirable to him the indescrib-
able pleasure of ever SO many turkey hunts

THE RACE OF LIE.

Everybody is grouped with certain
others in this life. We may not know
it, but such is the fact. There are groups
of 100, groups of 1000. and groups
of still larger numbers all starting to-
gether in life at the same time. All are
presumably upon the same footing and
with equal advantages and the same
good fortune as to health and favorable
surroundings. This, however, is only
true in theory.
Are you aware that Of the ninety-nine
persons in the group that started out in
life with you only about fifty survive
the 18th year. Thirty jog along with
you till you are 40. When you are 60
only eighteen of your companions re-
main. At 10 ten are LEFT, at 80 you will
have reason to feel lonely, for only four
of your original companions will be
with you. One of these will drag out o
lonely existence to age 90, possibly 100,
when the last of the groua will be no
more. These figures are based on an
estimate in the United States census re-
port of 1880.
Now, supposing, if it were possible,
that these 100 persons, or their parents,
for them, had embarked in an assess
ment life insurance scheme as they
stepped upon the threshold of life,
what would have been the outcome of
the venture? If the first fifteen years.
deaths, amounting to nearly so per
cent. of the whole number, had not
"busted" the concern, what, think you,
would have been the ultimate opinion
of the value of that kind of insurance
of the single old fellow who held out
faithful to the end? After coming up
to the scratch ninety-nine times, and
paying assessments for the deaths of all
his companions, no one is left to pay
for him. Nothing more forcibly illus
trates the absurdity of assessment life
insurance 1t is true the claim is made
that "new blood" is continually brought
in to take the place of the deceased
members, but what folly is it for a
young, healthy risk to voluntarily go
into a society of aged and, perhaps, de-
crepit members with the expectation of
beating the old fellows by an early and
untimely death!
The theory is fallacious. Nothing
but the level premium plan of the reg
ular insurance companies meets the in
iquities of such cases, and places all,
whether old or young, upon an equal
footing, and invests all with equal risks.

JUSTICE TO wEsrENy SOLDIERS.


My attention was attracted by state
ment from an Iowa Grand Army man
concerning the attitude assumed by the
soldiers Of the army of the Potomac in
reference to our Western armies, and l
was most heartily glad to see some one
state what all of us know to be the
fact. The airs that the Army of the
Potomac puts on are simply disgusting,
especially when one considers how lit
tie they did during the war. They
were far better equipped than the
Western troops. They were all clad in
new uniforms, while our men had to
use blankets to cover their nakedness
When new arms were issued they got
them, and the old ones were sent West
And yet the Western armies We're sue
cessfnl from the first, always advancing
and never seriously checked, while the
Army of the Potomac was beaten by
inferior numbers over and over again.
and never won q battle until Western
men were placed in command. They
fought four years without getting ont
of sight of Washington, while the
Western troops marched about 5000
miles, leaving nothing unconquered be-
hind them. Sherman's men called the
army of the Potomac "custard boys"
because they said they were afraid to
get so far away from Washington that
they could not have custard every
morning. l do not mean to impugn
their courage, but think that when they
claim equality with, not to speak of su-
periority over, the Western troops the
true state Of the case should be placed
before the world.-Geo. n. Stone, of
